Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling about 1,800 Fuse Comp and Fatboy SE bicycles equipped with Stout cranks. The driveside crankarm can unexpectedly detach while in use, causing the rider to lose control. These bicycles were sold at authorized retailers nationwide between $1,400 and $1,500 from 2017 through 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these bikes and contact a dealer for a free replacement crankarm.

Risk

The driveside crankarm can disengage from the bicycle, which may lead to the rider losing control of the bike and falling, resulting in potential injuries. While no injuries have been reported, the mechanical failure poses a direct fall hazard.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop riding the recalled Specialized Fuse Comp or Fatboy SE bicycles until you have verified if your cranks are affected.
  2. Check the crankarms for the 'STOUT' brand name. If 'STOUT' is present, inspect the inside of either crankarm for a serial code beginning with '17' and ensure the bike is equipped with a direct-mount chainring.
  3. Verify the bicycle color: Fuse Comp models were sold in 'Gloss Hyper/Black Clean' or 'Satin Gloss Black/Rocket Red'; Fatboy SE models were sold in 'Gloss Warm Charcoal/Black/Gallardo Orange' or 'Satin Oak Green/Black/Rocket Red'.
  4. If your bicycle is affected, contact an Authorized Specialized Retailer to schedule a free replacement of the driveside crankarm.
